In a new trend going viral on Twitter, teenagers are doing the “Charlie Charlie Challenge” in which they pretend to summon a "demon" to ask it for life advice.
For the challenge, people are making a cross with one pencil balanced on top of another, with “yes” and “no” written in the four quarters.
Next, they ask the question: “Charlie, Charlie, are you here?” If the top pencil moves and lands on yes, that means the "demon" is in your house.
People can then ask "Charlie" yes or no questions, with the pencil's movements indicating his answers. Of course, the challenge isn't being taken seriously.
Others are asking for dating advice, whether they'll pass their school exams, or what they should eat.
Despite the jokes, some people are freaking out because they believe the challenge is based on an "ancient Mexican tradition."
Obviously we had to try and summon him ourselves, but my house turned out to be disappointingly "demon" free.
